How tough is Harves!
I heard this morning on Hungry For Sport that Ottens' mystery problem with his foot that has kept him out all year is a 'planter fascia' (sp?).
Isn't this the same problem Harves had a couple of years ago which he 'fixed' by repeatedly jumping on his foot until he 'broke' the 'planter fascia'?

yep, got told to just rest it but was in pain, so jumped off his kitchen bench to snap it so it healed quicker....

Harvs is not the only one we should put in the tough category regarding this particular injury. If I recall correctly, Fraser Gehrig had a similar injury a few years ago (might even have been the year he topped the 100). He kept playing with it and it snapped during a game !!Solar wrote:yep, got told to just rest it but was in pain, so jumped off his kitchen bench to snap it so it healed quicker....

2002 or 2003, had just started playing at FF, was doing ok but not great then his PF snapped at the start of a game against freo and kicked 5 goals? for the match and never left FF after that.Eastern wrote:Harvs is not the only one we should put in the tough category regarding this particular injury.

Ex-Saints club Doctor who was responsible for our injury management?saintsRrising wrote:Yes the story is true but I have spoken with an ex-Saints Club Doc about it and he was quite frankly horrified by Harvey's self-treatment.
According to the Doc it could easily have gone horribly wrong and ended his career then and there.
Some of the pre-emptive treatments went horribly wrong, and we had too many injuries.

No...he was before that era......and was not the club Doc when Harvey treated himself.casey scorp wrote:Ex-Saints club Doctor who was responsible for our injury management?saintsRrising wrote:Yes the story is true but I have spoken with an ex-Saints Club Doc about it and he was quite frankly horrified by Harvey's self-treatment.

He was not that glowing about the pre-RL era in terms of a number of issues including lack of individual player conditioning, not seeking medical advice when it should have been.......and lack medical and pscychological input into recruiting which meant that players were considered who should have had lines drawn through their names...but that is another story.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....

Don't forget Sam Fisher in the '05 QF win over the Crows playing on with a broken foot...that was courageous. Him, Harvs and Dal won that game almost single-handedly.
